Drawing on 30 years of experience in natural resource governance and anti-corruption, Global Witness is working to ensure that the natural resources needed for the green energy transition are sourced in an environmentally sound, ethical and sustainable manner, which puts people and communities at the heart of governance.
Through a "fireside chat" with Global Witness Campaign Director Shruti Suresh and Yessenia Funes, Climate Director at Atmos Magazine, along with video remarks from Emmanuel Umpula Nkumba from Afrewatch, we will delve into the on-the-ground realities of communities in resource-rich places, as well as how Global Witness investigations make a strong case for accountability in the extractive sector. In particular, the discussion will cover the role of China in the rush for transition minerals.
